Secret Recipe

1
The task of this mission
is to get a special seasoning recipe.
The two people in the picture
used to run a chain noodle shop together.
One was responsible
for the front management,
the other for the backstage kitchen.
They have been partners
for over ten years, and been tacit.
So, the secret recipe of the famous
noodle has been kept by her.
Does she keep it a secret even from you?
I was too naive.
I never thought that one day she would
betray me and make a fresh start.
That's why she is so anxious
to get back the secret recipe.
Well, any questions?
No, the explanation was all-sided.
Lu Guang, do you have any questions?
What are the names of them?
Yu Xia.
Lin Zhen.
There are lots of photos, but few clues.
Without many chances,
we can only try one step at a time.
I don't understand, they've been
partners for so many years,
why did they break off their friendship?
What a pity it is!
Just do the job
instead of caring about the whole story.
By the way,
if we disagree with each other one day,
shall we break up, too?
If you dare to play politics
behind my back.
Almost time.
I'll scratch your handsome face!
Childish!
You stone, me paper,
you lose, game over.
You are more childish than me!
Gear up.
Dive.
Lin Zhen, stay there,
let me see if the new night mode is clear.
We've worked all day.
After the whole busy day,
don't you feel tired?
Today is the first day of opening,
it's like the first night
of our honeymoon.
We will take a picture at this place
and this time every year.
Review the previous photos and
look for any clues, then move on!
Yu Xia, don't set anything.
Just take the photo.
There's a lot of work left to do!
Everything is done finally!
I think
even getting married
wouldn't be so tiring.
If it is more tiring than this,
I won't get married.
You just said today is our honeymoon.
Shall we now
I'm joking with you.
What are you doing now?
You used to sleep with me after
we watched horror flicks in the dorm.
They used to be roommates in college.
Stop teasing you.
We served customers all day.
It's time to serve ourselves.
I'll make noodles.
I thought you were tired?
What are you waiting for?
Into the kitchen.
Is there really a secret recipe?
It's just a pot of stew.
Coming soon.
Right there.
Lin Zhen, what are you taking?
Like you don't know.
Playing dumb?
Scheming girl!
--Er
--Anybody home? Here comes the goods!
Anyone home?
Parking is not allowed here,
open the door!
What is it?
Hey! I'll go if nobody answer me.
What are you doing? Go get the door.
Listen to her.
If the goods aren't received,
everything will change after that.
Nobody home really?
Okay, I'm leaving!
Hurry up!
I'm coming!
So why'd you keep me waiting?
Oh, it's a female boss!
It's much better for you
to find a good guy to get married.
Running a shop?
Don't you want an easier life?
What's wrong with women?
We have hands, feet, and brains.
You men are shameless and inconstant.
If you're really a man,
move all these inside for me!
Aren't I right?
Yes
All the materials have been used up.
I've tried my best. Enjoy it.
What about you?
My happiness is enjoying the expression
on your face while you are eating noodles.
She doesn't look so bad.
Don't jump to judgment!
People can change.
As old rules, together!
I still remember our time in
the university, ingredients were lacking.
We never have the chance to chose.
Just like this,
we put everything in the pot.
How about we make this bowl of noodles
a symbol of our shop?
Nice! It will be named
Bowl of the Female Dormitory!
Wow, what does she add
into the noodle soup?
A refreshing fragrance
and sweet in the mouth.
Lu Guang, it's a pity you can't taste it!
Eh, I don't care.
Hey, idiot. I told you
not to add anything!
This is out my control!
We can't find anything in this picture.
Ready for another one.
How do you feel about your
Bowl of the Female Dormitory
becoming famous overnight?
In fact, I don't really
give it lots of thought.
Cooking is my personal interest,
and I believe that good memories
can be kept in the meals.
Stop, stop, stop.
Boss, if you want to take pictures,
turn off the flash, okay?
It will affect the camera effect.
I'm sorry, you just keep going.
After that, when the
reporters film her cooking,
you can look for the clues of the recipe.
Chef, let's add a live cooking video.
The broadcast will be even better.
Hey, reporter friends.
Be careful in the kitchen.
Please, please, everybody!
That's all for today,
it's not convenient
to disclose any further steps.
Oh, so stingy!
We want to have an exclusive story.
Failed again.
Keep on trying!
We strive to put all purchase lists
into the system tonight.
In the future,
with the intelligent management,
you don't have to check
the suppliers every time.
They will deliver on time.
Yu Xia,
how long haven't you been home?
Eh
Years maybe, I can't remember.
I can't go home because of the business.
Is that all?
Yes, confirmed.
Everything on these lists is
available on the market.
Damn it! There is still no progress!
Yu Xia!
Here come the designs for
the new logo. Can you choose?
Okay, I'm coming!
Nothing again
Boss, these are new tastes.
We tried many regional
flavors that are chosen
from different places around the country.
Something tasty?
If the case failed, we will go hungry.
Make do with it now.
Boss, just take a break.
It's harmful to eat
so many noodles one time!
No, since we want to
open national chain shop,
we must expand our product lines.
Next!
Why noodles again?
I'm gonna puke!
Different taste, try again.
I ate more than ten bowls
in the last picture,
no noodles anymore in my future life!
I'm so sorry, Miss Yu,
we are trying our best
to look for the clues.
It's been a long time.
We don't know where
she's hiding and preparing.
If there is such a difficult case
in the future again,
we must ask Qiao for overtime pay!
Once she opens the shop
with the signature noodles,
the chain brand that
I worked hard to build
will be destroyed!
You have been looking at
the last photo for quite a long time.
You find anything?
No, there is no chance in this photo.
Give it up.
Not seeing hope
doesn't mean there is no hope.
Come on.
We said that we would
take one photo each year,
but the second one is
after more than ten years.
Don't let it be the last one, okay?
This photo was taken by Lin Zhen!
Yes, but unfortunately,
there are no useful clues in 12 hours.
Lin Zhen
Can you stay?
You got intelligent management,
a precise cooking line,
and perfect commercial packing.
It's really not the place for a person
like me who cooks with passion.
But why don't you try to adapt, to change,
to achieve a greater dream?
The noodle shop over ten years ago
is my greatest dream.
But you have seen, our business
is getting better and better,
more and more customers need our service.
They're all for you.
It's you who makes them feel happy!
I'm sorry!
I don't have enough happiness
to share with all the people.
So we need more money, a bigger group,
and even more better resources to help us!
No, it's only for you.
In order to expand the influence,
such a disgusting brand name can be used.
This shop no longer belongs to me.
Leave the recipe to
Ah, I don't know either.
Idiot.
Say the lines!
I have nothing to say.
This is our common property,
no one has the right to own it!
I can seek a lawyer and sue you!
Suit yourself!
She is the one who totally changed.
Nothing is absolute, just walk away.
Excuse me.
Where are you going?
Back to the beginning.
I'll restart.
How is it going?
Is there any information about the recipe?
Ah, I seek it all over,
but nothing useful.
Do we have any other chance?
None.
She's crying all night at home,
not going anywhere.
Yo.
The details of your performance
were quite in place this time.
I used to know you were cold and negative,
I didn't expect that
you could be so weird now.
You're such a disgusting man!
Let it out.
I've been driving for so many years
and have seen so many people.
Ladies who talk to themselves after
arguing with the husband just like you.
Don't worry about it.
It just goes in one ear and out the other.
Xiang Zhuang
Hey, Xiang Zhuang is a good place!
Not so big, but there are lots of trees,
water, and beautiful scenery.
There's also a plant
called fragrant flower,
with beautiful blossoms
and a pleasant smell.
Local people dry and grind it into powder
to use as seasoning.
That is to say, Lin Zhen often
goes to Xiang Zhuang for
stocking?
Your assertion should be right!
And because it's a folk recipe,
few people know that.
What Lin Zhen puts in the soup should be
the powder of fragrant flowers.
It only grows in Xiang Zhuang,
and only in small quantity.
You mean Xiang Zhuang fragrant flowers?
Yeah, of course.
It's just what we infer from the clues.
In fact, maybe you need to
ask someone to sample it.
That's right.
Yes, that's it
I finally find it.
Mission complete!
Believe it or not,
I was afraid of eating that before.
But now that I can't eat it
I even miss the taste.
It's a pity you never had the chance,
and you will never know how it feels.
Get away!
Why'd we miss this one here?
This is the screen saver of
Lin Zhen's mobile phone!
That would've been taken in their dorm.
When Qiao Lin comes here,
tell her to return it.
What's your problem? Fussy idiot.
Noodles, noodles, noodles!
Can I go to eat that for the last time?
No!
How can you enter the client's photo
for such naive reasons?
Oh, come on, one last time.
Please!
No way!
You!
You are smart, Lin Zhen!
Noodles in the rice cooker
Great! Really great!
You're an absolutely brilliant cook!
Maybe it's a good choice for us to open
a small noodle shop
nearby after graduation.
Hey, Lu Guang.
What should I say?
There are take-outs
everywhere in the future.
That will never do.
We should learn about
intelligent management,
and we should get an APP, too.
Oh? APP?
What is APP?
No, no, no, opening a shop
together is also great!
No, no, no, opening a shop
together is also great!
Shall we call it Xia Lin
noodle shop? Okay?
It doesn't need to be a big shop,
a small one is enough.
Half year of work and
half year of rest, how wonderful!
Hey, wait a minute!
My parents ask me to take so many
local products from my hometown to school.
In our Xiang Zhuang,
the elders like to sprinkle the powder
of fragrant flowers on food.
They said the taste of fragrant flowers
could awaken people's best memories.
It smells so good,
with a little earthy fragrance.
Hey! Did you laugh at me?
Give it back to me!
Give it to me!
Lin Zhen.
Welcome back.
As the saying goes, the book's meaning
reveals itself on the hundredth reading.
Try my copy, Bowl of the Male Dormitory!
What does it taste like?
If you dare to change the photo shop
into a noodle shop, I'll leave right now.
Nobody can leave
before the debt is paid off.
Yo, noodles!
Hey, you take one bowl away,
what about us?
